Cover story: Cheap and trashy (books)
Maybe it's because the weather's hot and steamy. At this time of year, we want our books cheap, and the trashier the better. Some local businesses are eager to supply your every need.

On the cover: Meaghan Owens is a singer/songwriter/performer who's releasing her debut album, "No Whiskey in a Good Girl's River," in August. Check out her folk/indie/alt-country musical take at www.myspace.com/meaghanowens music.

Meaghan was photographed at Renaissance Book Shop, 834 N. Plankinton Ave. Styling by Bjorn Nasett of Beauty, 1633 N. Farwell Ave.
